Quick and easy to make, cheap, can be eaten as a light meal or with a few chips/jacket potato for a more substantial meal.
I just had a cheese one with some salad, Mmmmm.

Especially nice if you whisk the whites as for a meringue and fold into whipped yolks, a tbs of Creme fraiche and add snipped chives. Serve with a tomato and avocado salad and a couple of slices of mozzarella if you have it. Very fresh.

YANBU - I love omelettes!

resuwen · 03/06/2022 13:59

Agreed! Achieves the rare distinction of being cheap, easy, healthy and delicious.

PonyPatter44 · 03/06/2022 14:05

Omelettes are brilliant. I like mushroom, or cheese and chives.

A chicken omelette with fried rice and a carton of curry is one of my favourite things to get from the chippy. If making them myself I just have them plain. Love them.

SallyWD · 03/06/2022 14:13

I love them. Hundreds of variations and delicious.

VioletToes · 03/06/2022 14:14

Chicken omelette from chippy?! Fried rice from chippy!? Does chippy mean Fish and Chip shop to you? Cos you'd never get them from a chippy round here!

A big yes to omelettes! Given the rising food prices, am eating at least one egg-based meal most days.

Favourite include one using leftover pasta (usually fusilli), sautéed onions with red bell pepper and chilli flakes, oregano, finished with and lots of grated parmesan and finely chopped parsley. The others is onion and spinach sautéed in turmeric, a few tablespoons of pilau (or Waitrose carrot and spinach) rice added to the beaten eggs and finished with freshly milled garam marsala spices.

Hmmm cheese and mushroom omelette with nice chips and well made salad. Yum 😋

I could live on omelettes (and sometimes do)

My fave is a tuna and cheese omelette. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

@catinboots123 How do you make this? Just plain Tuna dumped in the egg mix? Do you add any chilli?

RandomUsernameHere · 03/06/2022 15:29

YAdefinitelyNBU! They're one of the best meals ever and so quick and easy.

I much prefer a Spanish omelette or frittata, but if you are including them in the mix yanbu at all.

Happy to include Spanish omelet and frittata in the mix too!

I usually make tortilla when I have leftover boiled potato, it's great to take on a picnic.

What?! Gwen is a Welsh icon (fictional). Gavin & Stacey.

Can't beat a good omelette. Always use eggs from my own chickens so they are extra special!

Seeleyboo · 03/06/2022 15:35

Pepperoni mushroom and cheese.

Yeah all chippies in my area are also Chinese takeaways. Think it's just a Liverpool thing.

MugginsOverEre · 03/06/2022 15:56

Omelette made with chilli cheddar. Or chucking some flaked chillis in. Game changer for those of us who struggle to eat 'eggy' dishes. It's not suddenly spicy with the chilli but it is far less sickly.

Pascha · 03/06/2022 16:18

Not for me, makes me feel a bit nauseous after a few bites. I'm not really an egg fan at all though. I'd rather have beans on toast.

Everydaydayisaschoolday · 03/06/2022 16:21

Not just omelettes. Eggs generally. So quick and delicious. Except fried eggs. They are horrible.

BiggerBoat1 · 03/06/2022 16:24

Bloody love an omelette. Cheddar and onion or a lovely Spanish omelette.

The best ones are the ones I have on holiday in France. Maybe its the Kir I have with them that makes them perfect though!

Oizys · 03/06/2022 16:24

Had one for lunch cheese and garlic
mushrooms. Heaven on earth.

we have a fantastic cafe near us that does one with any fillings but the best is sausage and has brown bits feels so naughty 😈

Singlebutmarried · 03/06/2022 16:27

YANBU

Omlette, but on a Saturday/Sunday with leftover kebab meat. Or left over saag aloo. Not both together obvs I’m not a complete hethan.

thenightsky · 03/06/2022 16:28

I love omelettes, but I've not had one for ages due to DH ruining the non-stickness of my best omelette pan by cooking something on high, then wandering off to watch youtube and forgetting it until he smelled smoke. Angry
